Noon.
People from the Governnt Office arrived.
Two constables.
But after a brief inspection of the burn marks, they were ready to declare it an accidental fire.
At this mont,
three burly n also arrived at the scene.
One of the n approached the constables, whispered sothing, and gestured at the ground.
The two constables then nodded with a smile,
and left Shuanggang Village without saying a word.
However,
the three burly n instructed Huang Tong, who had been there the whole ti.
They told him to gather all the villagers here, every family must be present, or else, the Wild Wolf Gang wouldn’t be polite.
Upon hearing they were from the Wild Wolf Gang, Huang Tong, who was already inarticulate, stuttered even more.
He hurriedly started shouting from house to house.
At this ti,
inside Chen Xuan’s ho.
They were eating lunch.
Suddenly,
a knock sounded on the door.
"Brother Xuan, hurry to Li Tie’s house."
Su Wanqiu, who was having lunch, heard this voice and dropped her chopsticks to the floor with a clang.
Her complexion changed.
She looked anxiously at Chen Xuan across the table.
"What’s wrong, sister?"
It was Su Yun who looked at her curiously, then bent down to pick up the chopsticks for her.
At the mont she bent down,
Chen Xuan shook his head at Su Wanqiu, indicating for her not to panic.
He got up to open the door.
Seeing it was Huang Tong, he asked, "What’s the matter now, Xiaohuang?"
At this point,
Huang Tong had already run to many houses, so exhausted that he couldn’t straighten his back, stuttering, he said, "It’s... it’s the Wild Wolf Gang... they’re here, and they... want everyone to... co out!"
Upon hearing it was the Wild Wolf Gang,
Chen Xuan frowned.
And inside the house, Su Wanqiu looked even more terrified.
Su Yun, thinking her sister was scared of the Wild Wolf Gang, hurriedly comforted her, "It’s nothing, our family always pays on ti, the Wild Wolf Gang won’t trouble us. They’re probably calling the villagers together to announce sothing, don’t be afraid!"
"Okay, okay, sister understands."
Su Wanqiu nodded quickly.
But her lips were trembling slightly, only Su Yun, who was oblivious, didn’t notice.
At this ti,
Chen Xuan turned around,
seeing his sister-in-law so terrified.
He felt a bit guilty,
wishing he hadn’t told the truth, which caused her to be so afraid now.
"It’s okay, I’ll go take a look. I checked earlier, nothing was left behind, it’s really nothing. Just as Yun’Er said, the Wild Wolf Gang likely has sothing to announce!"
"Yes, sister, you see Brother Xuan agrees with , it’s nothing! Don’t be scared! Those thugs are despicable! Hmph!"
Su Yun bit her silver teeth, snorted coldly, and continued to comfort her sister.
Li Tie’s death made her the happiest.
Chen Xuan looked at the little girl being angry and almost wanted to laugh.
Her emotions were all written on her face.
She was truly a child!
"Hmm, got it, you go ahead, don’t cause trouble, be really careful, got it!"
"Hmm!"
Facing Su Wanqiu’s advice, he naturally knew what it ant.
Leaving his ho,
when he arrived at Li Tie’s place again, it was already crowded.
With Shuanggang Village having at most a few dozen households, it seed everyone ca.
It made sense,
with the Wild Wolf Gang’s nace, these honest villagers really didn’t dare not to co.
Chen Xuan stood amidst the crowd, silent, his eyes surveying the three burly n of the Wild Wolf Gang at the front.
These three were clearly not good people.
Clad in black clothing,
each had a long knife at their waist.
Especially the one in the middle with a face full of flesh, he really resembled a fool from a movie in his previous life, but with a fiercer look.
After a long while,
the fool-ish looking man spoke.
His voice hoarse and sowhat creepy.
"We called you here to tell you that this ti our Wild Wolf Gang lost an excellent disciple for your Shuanggang Village."
As soon as he spoke,
not only Chen Xuan, but all the villagers were puzzled.
What did this an?
For a mont, the villagers in Shuanggang Village started whispering to each other.
"Quiet down!"
The fool was displeased seeing this, shouted loudly.
Imdiately,
the villagers dared not speak, each standing straight, looking at him collectively.
This satisfied the fool.
A slight smile appeared on his face, but it quickly vanished, replaced by a look of sorrow.
This left everyone even more puzzled.
What was really happening?
Only to see the fool continue, "Last night, thieves entered Shuanggang Village, to protect your village’s safety, my disciple of the Wild Wolf Gang fought bravely with the thieves, the final result you saw, unfortunately, a fire broke out, and both were destroyed together."
"Li Jin was our Wild Wolf Gang’s most outstanding disciple, and also one of your own in Shuanggang Village."
"Such a person’s death is a loss to our Wild Wolf Gang, and also a loss to your Shuanggang Village."
"Therefore, I hope your Shuanggang Village, every household gives 20 big coins, to properly bury Li Jin, as a tribute to his sacrifices for Shuanggang Village."
By the end, it seed as if he was about to cry.
But,
maybe out of the belief that a man doesn’t easily cry, he didn’t shed a single tear in the end.
After this performance,
Chen Xuan was completely stunned.
This fool truly had the acting skill, except for not shedding tears at the end, he could score a 9.9 for the whole performance.
Too impressive.
What a talent, damn it.
To reach such shalessness is a skill in itself.
Twenty big coins,
was no small amount for the villagers of Shuanggang Village, who just went through a drought and snow disaster.
Under the guise of burying Li Jin,
it was simply nonsense.
Wasn’t it just going into their pockets?
All at once,
the villagers erupted.
Life was already hard, and now they were asked to pay 20 big coins to the two bastards of the Li Family.
This made them fear the three n of the Wild Wolf Gang much less.
Dissatisfaction arose among them.
Even so brave souls spoke up, "Mister, it was Li Tie and Li Jin, the two brothers accidentally setting the fire, not so robbers, please, Mister, see the truth!"
"Yes!"
"Sir, please have rcy, our lives are too hard, we’ve always paid you on ti, we really don’t have much money left."
"Please, have rcy on us!"
....
However,
these earnest appeals by the simple villagers of Shuanggang Village were t with a furious shout from the fool.
"Shut up! You unruly folk, do you wish to die!"
The two burly n beside him cooperated by drawing their long knives from their waists.
The sound of the blades echoed in the villagers’ ears.
Under the sunlight,
the two long knives emitted a chilling aura, set against a backdrop of thick snow all around.
Imdiately,
no one dared to speak again.
At this mont, the fool also dropped the act, giving a sinister smile, his face’s flesh nearly piling up together.
His tiger-like eyes glared, scanning everyone,
those who t his gaze all lowered their heads in fear.
After making a round,
all the villagers had bowed their heads.
Including Chen Xuan!
"This money, you must give it whether you want to or not! I’ve said my piece, if you don’t, I and my brothers will co directly to your hos."
The fool paused slightly here,
then shouted loudly, "Take it!"
